Adam Sawkins, creator of the oft-maligned Minecraft-clone FortressCraft, announcedon Twitterthat Fortresscraft has reached a mammoth 750,000 sales since its release just over a year ago in April 2011.
Sawkins isn't the only developer who has seen success imitating the formula of Minecraft. Most of the top 5 games on XBLIG riff off Minecraft in some way. The lack of a proper Xbox 360 version of Minecraft has allowed these imitators to thrive.
However, Minecraft will be launching at one of the highest rates Xbox Live Arcade has ever seen, $20. With Fortresscraft and its ilk being so well received by fans, it's hard to imagine Minecraft putting them out to pasture. Especially considering Fortresscraft sells for just $3.
